Technologies for fabrication of optics and photonics at the micro- and nano-scale continue to advance and diversify due to rising demands for miniaturization, cost reduction, functional integration, and increased performance in optical and photonic systems. Examples include photonic crystals, photonic metamaterials, plasmonic devices, sub-wavelength optics, microrefractive optics, diffractive optics, optical waveguides, and heterogeneously integrated active and passive micro- and nano-optical devices. These devices are playing increasing roles in a wide range of applications, including sensors, communications, imaging, biomedical, data storage, photovoltaics and other areas.
